Dear WG5,

Mallory North, the local host, says:

Would you mind giving me an estimate of your likelihood of attending 
and of bringing others? 

He asks a similar question of the 2003 meeting in Vegas, which is the
one for which Walt Brainerd is organizing a get-together of former members.

May I have a likelihood estimate for this, too, please?

Thanks, 

John.
